The first thing that jumps out is that the Saints sit at the top of the charts for both quarterbacks and wide receivers, as they have allowed the most fantasy points per game to each position this season. Great news for owners of Atlanta's Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Roddy White, who will travel to New Orleans on Sunday; bad news if you're facing anyone in that trio.

More damning "sit" evidence comes at running back, where the struggling Steven Jackson will be going up against the 49ers, who are allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to RBs. Meanwhile, the Patriots' Stevan Ridley is a must-start against Buffalo, which is allowing the most fantasy points per game to RBs.

The decider

Start 'em:

Joe Flacco, Ravens. Flacco has been such a non-factor in fantasy of late that he has gone from early-season starter to not even a bye-week play for most rosters. But if you need a bye-week fill-in for Aaron Rodgers, Flacco should be able to drop 250 and two TDs on the Raiders' secondary where he plays best, in Baltimore.

Three more: The Giants' Eli Manning will rebound from the Steelers disaster by putting up a similar game to big brother Peyton in Cincinnati; Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger, even without Antonio Brown, should be good for a couple more scores at home against Kansas City on Monday night; if you're in a deep league needing a fill-in, consider Dolphins rookie Ryan Tannehill at home vs. the Titans' porous pass defense.

Sit 'em:

Carson Palmer, Raiders. Don't chase last week's box score, which included 400-plus yards and four TDs. It also had three interceptions at home for Palmer. On paper, the Ravens' pass defense looks vulnerable, but then you see how Brandon Weeden fizzled. Baltimore will be primed to rattle their old Bengals foe at home.

Three more: Houston's Matt Schaub might have some success throwing underneath against the Bears, but you don't want to risk it; on the other side, you can't feel good about Chicago's Jay Cutler against the Texans' defense; Philadelphia's Michael Vick has a brutal matchup with the Cowboys D at home.

Rankings analysis

Running backs

Stud: Michael Turner, Falcons (No. 7). Remember the incessant piling on Turner in the preseason? For the record, Turner has 44 carries the past two weeks; Jacquizz Rodgers has 42 for the season. Turner is the guy, and he'll get 20 more carries against a New Orleans defense that allows 5.3 yards per carry.

Sleeper: Shane Vereen, Patriots (No. 31). The Bills have allowed a league-high 12 rushing TDs, and rushed for 247 yards in the first meeting. Vereen could get enough carries and a shot at a short-yardage TD. A 10-point day is reasonable.

Go For It?: Chris Johnson, Titans (No. 13). Johnson saved his day with an 80-yard touchdown run in garbage time against the Bears. He has another demanding matchup against the Dolphins, but bear in mind despite just three TDs, Johnson ranks sixth in the league in rushing yards. Leave him in.

Fantasy matchups

Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons. Ryan put up good yardage last week but failed to throw a TD pass for the first time this season. Expect him to get back on the TD track against the league's No. 29 pass defense.

Julio Jones, WR, Falcons. No team is allowing more fantasy points per game (FPPG) to wide receivers than the Saints. Start Jones with confidence.

Jimmy Graham, TE, Saints. Graham appears to be over his ankle injury with 13 catches for 135 yards and two TDs in the last two games. Keep him locked in your lineups.

4-Star Players

Drew Brees, QB, Saints. This one's gonna be a shootout in the Superdome. Start Brees and enjoy.

Roddy White, WR, Falcons. As mentioned above, no team is allowing more FPPG to wide receivers than the Saints. There should be plenty of points to share between Roddy and Julio.

Marques Colston, WR, Saints. Colston has six touchdowns in the past five games. Although the Falcons have limited fantasy receivers this season, this is a mediocre unit that won't be able to slow down Brees and Colston. He's a definite No. 1 fantasy receiver in this shootout.
